Remember though, that with this solution, if one of the servers are down
still half the requests will be forwarded to the working server and half to
the non-working server meaning that 50% of requests to the site will fail.
It is important in this case that both servers are reliable.

&gt By placing two A records in the DNS with the same name but different ip&gt addresses will cause the DNS server to give out the addresses
alternatively.&gt That will cause the load to be split between the two.&gt&gt -----Original Message-----&gt From: Christian Schmit [mailto:cschmit@vo.lu]&gt Sent: Sunday, 23 January 2000 1:23 AM&gt To: ntisp@iea-software.com&gt Subject: [NTISP] loadbalancing IIS4 webservers&gt&gt&gt Hello,&gt&gt I have 2 NT4 servers having identical web content and running&gt identical setups of IIS4.&gt&gt How can I configure the DNS or any other program to laodbalance&gt all requests to one and the same URL (e.g. http://www.abcd.com)&gt between the 2 servers?&gt&gt thanks,&gt Christian&gt&gt&gt&gt&gt&gt For more information about this list (including removal) go to:&gt http://www.iea-software.com/support/maillists/liststart&gt&gt&gt For more information about this list (including removal) go to:&gt http://www.iea-software.com/support/maillists/liststart&gt
